Psalm 34:12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? The Chinese have a proverb we shall do well to remember: "A word rashly spoken cannot be brought back by a chariot and four horses." The Hindoos have a similar one: "Of thy unspoken word thou art master, thy spoken word is master of thee;" and many a heartache is caused in this world of ours by the passionate utterance of the hasty and the unkind word. Let us remember the adage trite and true: "Speech is silvern, silence is golden;" and, if we cannot speak gently, let us try not to speak at all.
